About this listen

Scott Sherman has worked with 500+ fund managers in his career.

From his days at Blackstone to today at Mesa Lane Capital, he’s seen what makes a GP rise - and what makes them crash.

Here’s the kicker: most VC fund managers don’t fail because they can’t invest.

They fail because they forget they’re also running a business.

In this episode, Scott breaks down:
  • The #1 mistake new GPs make in Fund I
  • Why trust and integrity matter more than big-name logos
  • How the best GPs structure their firms from day one
  • The operational “unsexy stuff” that sets the top 1% apart
  • Why emerging managers can still deliver the best returns in venture

If you’re raising a fund - or thinking about it - this episode is your roadmap.
